Significant progress has been made in recent years for computer-aided diagnosis of abnormal pulmonary textures from computed tomography (CT) images. Similar initiatives in chest radiographs (CXR), the common modality for pulmonary diagnosis, are much...
PURPOSE: Automated detection of solitary pulmonary nodules using positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) images shows good sensitivity; however, it is difficult to detect nodules in contact with normal organs, and additional e...

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of bilateral Taichong (LR 3), Yan-glingquan (GB 34), Waiguan (TE 5) and Chize (LU 5) on pain and post-surgical gastrointestinal reactions in patients undergoing pneumectomy.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role and its mechanism of the NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in alveolar macrophages in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in rats.
PURPOSE: It is an intriguing problem to generate an instantaneous volumetric image based on the corresponding x-ray projection. The purpose of this study is to develop a new method to achieve this goal via a sparse learning approach.
